Yes, but there are a gazillion lawyers and very few brilliant writers. I remember his piece on the psychic hotlines, and the stories he made up of people calling him (working on the hotline) were Brokeback Mountain-quality, all about loneliness and people not in control of their lives. He had a talent for immediacy and the telling detail. I tell you, I'd pay for fiction by that guy.
